AQ correct fold?

Here's a hand that I'm questioning because the flop shouldn't have hit too hard...I don't think. I was thinking either AK or a big pair/mid pair. Or he loosely called on the flop with 55, 66, or 99. He's on the button and I don't have any reads on him yet...the mini re-raise also made me a little skeptical.... good fold or too safe?

Easy fold, you played fine. SnG forum is your friend!

cool. I've been scared to post Q's in there because most of the stuff I'll ask will probable be pretty "beginner." But I guess I'll start posting there.

Thanks!

I'm the mod of the SNG forum and I will make sure that nobody criticises you for posting questions that are too beginner!

On your hand, I c-bet a bit less. A 160-180 bet folds every hand that a 230 bet does and saves you 50 chips if you have to fold (as in your case).

very well played

everyone's still learning. And "beginner", seemingly trivial questions often provoke a lot of debate. Nobody loses, your posts that I've read have been worthwhile. Post away
